Mathias Eick - The Door

Norwegian Trumpeter Mathias Eick has worked with musicians like Chick Corea, Manu Katché, Trondheim Jazz Orchestra, Norwegian psychedelic rock band Motorpsycho and the jazz/progressive rock ten-piece band Jaga Jazzist. Just like his counterpart Arve Henriksen, he also encompasses many influences such as Miles Davis, Chet Baker, Jon Hassell, Kenny Wheeler, Tomasz Stanko and Nils Petter Molvaer. However his playing has developed his own characteristic sound full of lyricism, a strong musical sense and a beautiful tone that allows him to sound smooth at any register. Eick released “The Door” in 2008 as his debut on the ever innovative ECM label. This CD is characterized by great melodic content and an ambience prone to the development of edgy yet beautiful improvisations. Musicians: Mathias Eick on trumpet, guitar and vibraphone, Jon Balke on piano, Audun Kleive on drums, Audun Erlien on bass and Stian Carstensen on pedal steel guitar. Read a great review by Thom Jurek.

Welcome!! Over the years my profound love for music has broadened my horizons as I've gathered a comprehensive collection consisting of all musical genres. This devotion has prompted me to share my favorite music with my friends and now with you as I believe good music can appeal to anyone. There is still a lack of re-releases on the market, and some new and old amazing music goes unnoticed and it's hard to trace. I have created this oasis to help you on your quest to find some of these amazing, rare, out-of-print, out-of-the-ordinary or simply interesting musical missing pieces by guiding you to places where you can either buy them or share them. I feel the need to provide my contribution to preserve, value and maintain alive some of these musical gems by spreading the word on this incredible music. I hope this contribution also helps to prompt the rightful owners of some of this out-of-print music to reissue it. This is my way of thanking all these amazing musicians for sharing their gift of music with us.
